2026 KWDA 찢고 옴🏆 | LE PLAY

The Korean context

What happened

In LE SSERAFIM’s awards-day footage, Yunjin says Girls’ Generation’s “MR.TAXI” was the first K-pop song she copied after coming to Korea; Kazuha adds that she owned the CD and played it in the car.

More context

Why Koreans care

One member describes the styling—a mix of “BOOMPALA,” “SPAGHETTI” and Napoleon—as having a 김피탕 (gimpitang, kimchi-pizza-sweet-and-sour-pork) feel. The caption expands the compressed dish name to 김치피자탕수육 (gimchi-pija-tangsuyuk), making the joke a precise analogy for several unlikely elements combined into one outfit.

In the Korean comments

One comment says, in translation, “I want to 복복복 (bok-bok-bok, repeatedly pat) their heads.” The sound-symbolic 복복복 (bok-bok-bok, repeated gentle patting) turns admiration into the affectionate image of fussing over someone cute.

What the words mean

The title’s 찢고 옴 (jjitgo om) literally means “tore it up and came back.” Here, 찢다 (jjitda, to tear) is casual, exaggerated praise meaning to crush a performance or event, so the title says they went to the awards and nailed it.
